Rental Family (2025)

Set in modern-day Tokyo, Rental Family follows an American actor adrift in both career and identity who takes an unconventional job with a “rental family” agency. Hired to play surrogate roles for clients seeking emotional connection, he finds himself stepping into deeply personal moments in the lives of strangers.

As the lines between performance and authenticity begin to blur, the emotional stakes intensify. What starts as a transactional service gradually becomes something more profound, forcing him to confront loneliness, belonging, and the unexpected ways chosen families can reshape a fractured sense of self.
